goodbye sunshine :(

Sunday night officially marked the start of the polar night ... i.e. when the sun doesn't come over the theoretical horizon. Having said that, because of the surrounding mountains I haven't actually seen the sun in over 2 weeks now.


It gets light very slowly... and at 1PM it starts getting dark again, at 2PM it's twilight, and at 3 it's pitch black. And that's just the start - within the next couple of days and weeks it will become increasingly dark increasingly quickly :( I have had a lot of work lately, but I'm feeling so much more tired than I used to!

Just for the sake of it, here is a small clip of us walking home. Nothing special, but just for the sake of it !
